Chelsea great John Terry has paid tribute to captain Cesar Azpilicueta.

Azpilicueta will celebrate the 10th anniversary of his arrival at Chelsea on Wednesday.

"When he first came in to the club, he made a big impression within the group," Terry told the club's website.

"His attitude on a day-to-day basis in training was, I have to say, one of the best I came across in my entire football career.

"His work ethic was incredible. He would get in the gym before training, then get in early and have his breakfast – the preparation was superb.

"He was a role model to not only the older players, but also the youngsters in our Academy, and he's still doing that today. He's a credit to Chelsea."
